The Honest Channel passes 8 million views!

July 2024 proved to be a milestone month for The Honest Channel after passing 8 million views.

I started the YouTube channel over 6 years ago with the aim of providing independent and honest product reviews.

To begin with I only managed to upload one video a month while I was juggling a full-time job, kids and a YouTube channel.

But it was so rewarding to watch the channel grow and gather more views and subscribers along the way.

Then, two years ago I decided to really step things up. With my interest in all things relating to skin health and how to age well now in full flight, I wanted to focus the channel around those topics and publish weekly.

I wanted to learn from the experts and so I put my journalism background to good use by inviting doctors, scientists, nutritionists and skincare specialists onto the channel to discuss the topics that fascinate me and my audience.

Today the channel covers everything from skincare and skin science to advice around how to age well more generally – from exercise, to diet, supplements, mindset and more.

My goal is to learn how to look and feel better for longer and share what I discover with my audience.

2024 is also the year that I launched a podcast, meaning you can now watch or listen to weekly episodes on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts!
